Final Two Days in Penn Yan, NY Trip...

Good Morning and Welcome back to Bathroom Blues Travel Blog.

You've heard the old saying, "save the best for last" ? 

When Nona and I realized we were only 3 hours away from Niagra Falls it was a no brainer to schedule a day trip there. We started out early in the morning. Since we would spend 6 hours in round-trip driving, we knew we'd only have about 3 or 4 hours to see as much as we could. Believe me, that is not enough time!

We took a trolly tour and got off at several spots including Three Sisters Island. 

When I hear the name of this island, my thoughts immediately went to Nora Roberts' "Three Sisters Island" trilogy. One of my favorite collections of hers.

Alas, that location is not the same as this one LOL! But it was still beautiful.

Flowers, plants, lots of water rushing over rocks. The bridge was sturdy and safe, which is wonderful considering you're standing over rapids. Each stop of the tour had its own kind of awe and wonder. Find more about these HERE.

We did not have time for a boat tour but we did take a virtual trip Above the Roar.

Although we didn't get to see all that we could, I walked across the Rainbow Bridge into Canada while Nona rested and haunted a couple of gift shops.

There are too many pictures and videos of the falls and rapids so I'll leave you with this collage and video...






Wednesday we had lunch at the historic Switzerland Inn (aka: The Switz) which looks out over Keuka Lake was established in 1894!

Tired but happy and ready to go home, we spent the rest of the day packing to leave early Thursday morning to return the rental and catch our plane back to Texas. Subsequently, I hitched a ride with Nona's driver to DFW and caught the late flight to Lake Charles, getting home and in bed around midnight.

I hope you've enjoyed my recollections of our Penn Yan, NY trip and that you'll check back often for more travel experiences.

Until next time take care, God Bless, and travel safe!
